I have an eclectic style and want to search some BLOGS to find some fun things to make for my place, and some unique ways of decorating.

Okay, Momma!

Where would you like to place the decorations?

Thanks!

In the house. That's why I am looking for home décor.

Do you own your place or are you renting?

I'm renting. Why do you ask?

If you own your own place, then there's probably more things that you could do.

Are you allowed to paint walls and ceilings the way that you would like to?

We can do whatever we want to the house, we're on a lease option. I'm not talking about painting though. I'm just talking about decorating.

Painting is decorating. One of the things that's really in vogue right now is to paint very wide stripes around the edges of a ceiling in different colors that compliment that which is on the walls.

I recently did that in the home of a customer. The stripe that is nearest the wall is 18 inches wide, and the next strip is 12 inches wide, there is a one-inch stripe between the larger stripes where the tape was.

It creates a faux effect of there being different levels of surfaces on the ceiling.

I don't want to paint. By decorating I mean the items that you hang on walls or set on tables, frames, the way you arrange furniture. The patterns, textures, and colors that you choose to mix together. You are focusing on painting. And I want to know how to find blogs on home décor.

Painting is just one thing that I can mention. There's also window treatments that you could do with curtains and blinds.

The customer for whom I did the painting on the ceiling actually painted flowers on a very large Davenport (sectional, couch) that they have. It looks great!

She is a nationally recognized flower arranger. And, she is also very eclectic in the way that she decorates things.

Painting designs on furniture is another option.

Do you have any blogs or websites to refer me to? I'm very much a visual person and I have a folder on my laptop for ideas.

Below, are some blogs and others that you might want to check out.

Yes, that is RAD! I wonder how they did that?

I would assume a colored light under the water. But how indeed.

Ah, I see! A colored light does make sense!

If the water was actually that color, I don't know that I would be wanting to bathe in it in any way!

True true.

Are you good with making things out of small pieces of wood, Momma?

Did I lose you, Momma?

No and No.
